    Oh, Harry Kane. Earlier in the season, everything he hit flew in but he is going through a little lean spell and it is not quite falling for him now. Earlier, Tim Krul denied him a goal with a superb save, but he is his own worst enemy here as he collects a Nabil Bentaleb chip in the box and shapes to shoot but loses his footing and pokes the ball harmlessly out for a goal-kick.

    The Newcastle players are chasing the ball but they aren't getting hold of it with anywhere near enough regularity to get them back into this game. And on the rare occasions they do have a chance to push for an equaliser they waste it. There is a resigned feeling to everything and everyone associated with the Magpies at the moment.

    Paulinho takes the corner and Harry Kane meets it on the volley from point-blank range but somehow Tim Krul manages to keep the ball out with a superb reflex save. How did that not go in? Replays show it definitely stayed out. The keeper has just kept his side in this.

    It has been a very quiet afternoon in St James' Park, with few cheers but there are audible groans and moans now as Newcastle struggle to find a way back into this game. Harry Kane has a sight of goal but opts for a cut-back that wins a corner...

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Jan Vertonghen leaves a leg hanging out to catch Ayoze Perez, concedes a free-kick on the edge of the box on the right and picks up a booking. Ryan Taylor chips in a cross from the set-piece that eventually falls to Perez at the back post but his low shot is blocked and cleared.

    Tottenham are starting to find spaces with worrying regularity for the home side now. Nacer Chadli has room to drive down the left and then float a cross over that is just a few yards ahead of Nabil Bentaleb in the middle.

    That lead-restoring goal has hit Newcastle hard. They look completely deflated. Harry Kane comes close to setting Christian Eriksen up in the box but a Newcastle defender sticks his leg out to prevent the cross reaching the Dane.

    Tottenham come within inches of scoring a third. Nabil Bentaleb charges into the box to meet a Nacer Chadli cross from the left but his header loops over the bar and on to the roof of the net. He should have scored. If he had that would surely have been game over.

    "Harry Kane was trying to claim that, wasn't he? Delivery into the box is so important and Christian Eriksen's delivery is so good there. If one of your players gets a nick on it, you are going to score. But even without an extra touch, that kind of ball can always creep in at the far post."

    Newcastle are not level for long. Having been fouled himself, Christian Eriksen dusts himself off and then curls over a free-kick into the box that is clearly designed to be a cross but beasts everyone, including Tim Krul, and finds the far corner. That could be a decisive blow, stamping out the home momentum. It is Eriksen's first goal since the end of January.

    Jack Colback needs to be careful. He may have scored but he also been booked and he walks a fine line by dragging down Christian Eriksen as the Dane broke into the Newcastle half.

    Now we could have a game on our hands. Newcastle have clearly come out with the bit between their teeth after a limp first-half. Apparently, there are 47,427 people in the crowd, which is the lowest crowd of the season at this ground.

    "Tottenham were comfortably on top in the first half and Newcastle had to change things at the break. I didn't think those changes would pay off that quickly but they have done."

    Would you believe it?! Just 18 seconds into the second half, Newcastke equalise as Ayoze Perez drives into the Tottenham box and sets up Daryl Janmaat for a shot that is blocked but followed up by Jack Colback to strike into the net. Finally, the hom fans have something to cheer.

    Here come the teams for the second half. John Carver clearly feels his side need something different. He's not wrong. A double change for the home side sees Gabriel Obertan and Sammy Ameobi come on for Mehdi Abied and Yoan Gouffran.
